Grandfather Lesson to Boy

Once a child came to visit his grandfather during his summer vacation. He used to play with his grandfather all the time.

One day he told his grandpa, "When I am an adult, I want to become a successful man. Can you tell me some ways, how to be successful?"

Grandfather nodded "yes" and took the boy with him to the nursery. From that nursery, they bought two small plants and came back home.

Then he planted the first plant in a pot and kept it inside the house and the other one outside the house.

"What do you think? Which of these two plants will grow better in the future." Grandfather asked the boy.

The boy kept thinking for sometime and then said, "Plant inside the house will grow better because it is safe from every danger while the plant outside has to face many risks like sunlight, storm, animals, etc."

Grandfather smiled and said, "Let's see what happens in the future."

After that, the boy left with his parents. After four years the boy came to visit his grandfather again.

When the boy saw his grandfather, he said, "Grandpa, last time I asked you some ways to be successful but you didn't tell me anything. But this time you have to tell me."

Grandfather smiled and said, "Sure but first let's take a look at the plants that we bought a few years back."

Saying this, Grandfather took the boy to the place where they had planted a small plant inside the house. They saw that the plant had turned into a tree. Then he took the boy outside to look at the plant which they had planted outside. There they saw that a huge tree stood, its branches spread far and wide providing shade to passer by.

Now, Grandfather looked at the boy and asked, "Tell me, which plant grew more? Which is more successful?"

Boy replied, "The one we planted outside. But Grandpa, how is this possible? That plant must have faced so many dangers still it grew so big!"

Grandfather smiled and said, "Yes, plants outside had to face many things but dealing with problems had its benefits too."

Plants outside had the freedom to spread their roots as much as they wanted. Problems like storms made its roots stronger. Today it is so strong that a small storm can not cause any harm to it.

Son, what I am about to tell you, is always remember that you will be successful in whatever you do in life.

If you always make comfortable choices then you will not be able to grow as you can if you are ready to face this world despite all the dangers then no goal is impossible for you to achieve.

Never think of problems as hurdles but think of them as steps towards success."

Boy took a long breath and stared looking at the tree and he understood his Grandpa's words.

Flash :- Embrace challenges and difficulties in life, because they provide the opportunities towards growth and strength. Facing and overcoming challenges can lead to personal development and future success. Comfortable choices may offer safety, but it's the willingness to confront and overcome adversity that truly fosters growth and achievement in one's endeavors.

Moral :- Obstacles which we consider as enemies in life, the same obstacles makes us stronger to tackle any sort of situations and helps us become more successful in life.

"Hard Work will always earn you success"
